Another little doodle on a gelli print

Where in the World is Saidfraz pt2

I haven't done a lot of gelli printing and what I have done is either still hanging to dry, sitting in a box, or providing a background for ... yes, even more doodling/zentangling. Here are four examples of the befores and the afters. 

More Gelli deliciousness

These two prints are part of new series using the fortunes saved from my fortune cookie stash

I've got the BLUES

... but it's not a bad thing. My blues are coming from bottles of paint and sheets of paper. 

Look closely and you will see eyes looking back at you. The eyes are a stamp, which when pressed onto the paint on the gelli plate creates a squiggle effect giving the print a dimensional  look to it. 

One paint color, print pulled on white paper. I used a scalloped cookie cutter to create the design in the print. 

Blue and black paint, white paper, foam stamp, shelf liner

Just a bunch of random pulls of leftover paints. The copper is a metallic paint that doesn't photograph as shiny as it is in person

Another cleanup job

Printed on black cardstock. First level of print was a pale green leaf stencil followed but the pale blue paint and a paper doily mask.

Printed on dark blue cardstock, white paint, used a comb and a glass to make the design. Love the dimension that was created. 

The first pull was green on white paper with a design. Wasn't too happy with it so I inked up the plate with a mixed blue and white paint, followed up with red paint that was applied to the gelli plate but not brayered out. 

Christmas Season

With all those gelli prints sitting around, it was time to create a little Christmas cheer.  

The print I used made some awesome trees, no need to add ornaments. A couple of wraps with metallic threads and some doodles with a gold metallic Gelly Roll pin and the card was complete.  It found it's place among the Nativity set that comes out every Christmas. This Nativity set was made for me by my mother back in the early '80s. It has a couple of dings and poor Mary lost her head a few years back (compliments of a nosy kitty). Thank goodness for super glue! 

I love the traditions of Christmas, the decorations that come out year after year, and each year adding something new.
